This paper sets out from creating whole of the novel written by Borges ,and discusses the essence of creating game of the novel deeply and roundly,but at the same time it doesn't lose its seriousness and nobility.As a kind of special and noble game ,the paper exhaustively analyzes and demonstates why to play,what to play and how to play one by one.He regards making up for the origin the novel surviving at first.As a kind of symbol,the language can point to both the real world and the text world .Borges sees the signifying function of the language soberly,and he uses language to make up the fact,the reality and the truth,showing Utopia nature of the language outstandingly. So the two kinds of sober understanding in his novel writing are the novel is the result of making up and writing novel is only the guide of the dream.Meanwhile,according to Borges' living environment and experience of personal growth of his life,the paper analyzes deeply why Borges confuses the reality and illusion .As a perpon of skepticism,agnosticism,and nihilism,he thinks that the world is the represenation of the will ,and the so-called thing is only the complex and impression of the feeling.He follows the writing principle of "I illusion so I in",thus he lets the language play between the reality and illusion. Secondly the paper inquires about the similarity of the author and the player ,namely self-expression .The space for amusement of this kind of self-expression behaves in the following three aspects outstandingly:illusion amusement, structure amusement,philosophy amusementBorges is giving pleasure to himself or to others from his own creation, giving people the leisure and delight of game.Meanwhile, it doesn't lose the seriousnss and elegance of novel.Behind his game,there hides a strong wish to clear some of the internal traditions,and then rebuild his own speech circle so as to express his inner thought.Finally,the paper analyzes the tool of the novel game,namely the expression technique of the text game:novel's self-examination,intertextuality, text fracture and time travel etc.And then talk about the four tactics' application and manifestation in Borges' novel-creation one by one.Meanwhile.the text points out the true purpose of Borges' selecting or creating these enterment tools:aiming to originate a new style .breaking the established pratices.In fact,as a rebel on the road of novel-creation and a special writter among the world,no matter what kind of novel idea and artistic tactics are adopted,themselves are not Borges'purpose.and his real purpose is that he wants to make the writters and the readers to have a good idea that novels can be written in this way-------a kind of language game.
